Wisdom I Pondered This Week

  • “What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come but keep moving forward.” — Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
  • “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible. Then they seem improbable. And then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” — Christopher Reeve
  • “We mistake confidence for competence, certainty for credibility, and quantity for quality. We get stuck following people who dominate the discussion instead of those who elevate it.” ― Adam M. Grant, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things
  • “Teaching others can build our competence. But it’s coaching others that elevates our confidence. When we encourage others to overcome obstacles, it can help us find our own motivation.” ― Adam M. Grant, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things
  • “When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others.” ― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

Things I Learned This Week

  • 鈔票夾(Money Clip) 的主要功能是夾持摺疊後的紙鈔,有時也能夾少量卡片或名片。常見材質包含金屬、碳纖維與皮革。特別適合出門時,不想攜帶繁重的錢包、讓口袋鼓鼓的人。
  • 馬陸 (Millipede)蚯蚓 (Earthworm) 外形相似卻屬於完全不同的生物類群:前者屬於「節肢動物門」,具有外骨骼與眾多足節(又稱「千足蟲」),每節通常有兩對腳,並有觸角;後者則屬「環節動物門」,身體柔軟(無外骨骼)無腳,沒有觸角,靠肌肉蠕動前進。馬陸常見於潮濕陰暗的地表或落葉堆中,受驚時會捲成一圈並分泌臭液防禦;而蚯蚓則會迅速鑽入土壤避開危險。(See also: 馬陸 v.s 蜈蚣)
  • 珍珠沙蠟」是一種新興的香氛蠟材,以沙粒或珍珠狀質地呈現,能直接倒入各種耐熱容器中搭配燭芯燃燒。它屬於「沙蠟」的一種形式,特色在於可重複使用、可自由調香、可塑性高,並兼具美觀與操作樂趣。與傳統石蠟或植物蠟相比,珍珠沙蠟更強調視覺質感與容器自由度,但在燃燒穩定性與香氣擴散力上可能略遜。
  • MERAKI 是一個源自希臘文(μεράκι, meráki)的詞,意指「全心投入、傾注靈魂與熱情去做一件事」。它代表一種將「愛、創意與熱忱」灌注於行動中的態度。當一個人以真誠與熱情完成某件事時,就展現了 Meraki 的精神。
  • 岩盤浴(Ganbanyoku,Hot Stone SPA) 是一種源自日本的天然溫熱療法,屬於「乾式溫泉」。它利用能釋放「遠紅外線」與「負離子」的天然礦石(如黑玄武岩、麥飯石、花崗岩)加熱後,讓人體平躺於其上,以溫熱能量由內而外促進循環與代謝。岩盤浴的環境通常保持在 4045°C、濕度 5060%,相較傳統桑拿更為溫和舒適。過程中可幫助身體深層出汗、排毒、放鬆肌肉、舒緩壓力,並改善手腳冰冷與皮膚狀況,因此特別受到女性與不耐高溫者的喜愛。
